Until the final decision of the FIFA regarding the case Byron Castillo, innumerable press versions come to light. Some assure that nothing will happen and the Tri will be without problems in the Qatar World Cupwhile others assume that between Chile and Colombia the replacement of the Ecuadorians would come out.
The last that was known came from Eduardo Carlezzo, Lawyer of the National Association of Professional Soccer (Anfp)who at a press conference assured that it would be “scandalous” If FIFA does not accept the evidence that according to him shows that Castillo is a native of Tumaco, Narino.
To add even more heat to the matter, this Wednesday the Mexican media ‘Aztec Sports‘ published information in which it is ensured that Ecuador will effectively be eliminated from the World Cup.
“The Ecuadorian National Team seems to be left out of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, since it would have been confirmed that Byron Castillo, a player involved in controversy, falsified his birth documents and is Colombian”, announces the aforementioned medium.
FIFA’s punishment would then be to remove the points from Ecuador and leave it out of Qatar 2022, a situation that would lead Chile, which would receive the points, to the qualifying zone.
“FIFA will announce its official decision in a couple of days, but at the moment what its statement will say has already been leaked, since following the evidence presented to the highest soccer body, the elimination of Ecuador seems imminent”, he concludes.
How would the classification be then? El Tri would go to the last box because it would lose the points it earned when Castillo played, while Chile would rise to fifth place and Peru would be fourth because it would also benefit from the delivery of points. Colombia ‘would have no candles at that funeral’ as Byron did not see action in either of the two qualifying matches.
The official decision of FIFA will be known next Friday, June 10.
